it looks like either a busted vacuum line or a small valve near the airbox. Either way, cleared the code and a quick drive revealed no new codes. So, I'll sit tight on it & reinvestigate if it reappears.

Default I have the same or similar code, let me know what you find

if I ever get home and have time to play I'll look at mine too. I'm thinking to test the one way valves if I don't see a clearly torn hose.

Default There is a little check valve on the evap line on top of the airbox...

post a picture of the top of the engine bay, and someone will be able to point out the check valve...it's clearly visible. Anyway, replace that valve, and that should eliminate your headaches.

This is one of those parts that likes to fail after 5 years.

Is that the one that's clicking (AKA purge valve)?

I assume there's a comparable VW part that'll be cheaper &amp; easier to come by?
